[glenwood4]

Can anything be done about the introduction for the 2014 as it's very long and not needed when wants to start using the trains. It was shifted when using the MTS. Thanks

Do as I've done. Go to Steam\SteamApps\common\RailWorks\data\videos...

Now rename the only file there (2013_startup.ogv) so that you have a backup... I use 2013_startup.ogv.ORIG

Next right-click in the folder window and select New then Text Document.

Rename the new text document to 2013_startup.ogv

It will be an empty file and you'll never see the video again. It'll load TS much faster.

Thanks Fodda.

[rikwesson]

Thanks for that Fodda, so much better now

[glenwood4]

I thank-Fodda-for the reply but if I do this, will it still be 2014 which is what I want. Many thanks

[Fodda]

Yep. Works with TS2013 and TS2014. They didn't change the intro filename between titles.

And ta for the kind words.

Fodda, from glendeep-done exactly as you said but did not work. I just got a blank screen and that was that. I put it back to how it was and got the long intro back again. I have windows 7 Laptop and works very well. Sorry about this but thought you would like to know. Once again many thanks.

[Fodda]

Glen. You may need to tweak Win 7 a tiny bit to show file extensions.

In Windows go to Start-All Programs-Accessories then select Windows Explorer.

Then in the Menu select Tools, and then select Folder Options...

In the window that opens select the View tab.

Now DEselect the option: Hide extensions for known file types (make sure there isn't a tick in the box).

Click OK, close Windows Explorer and then do the file changing I explained in my first post.

This little tweak is a must for anyone wanting to edit and play with files, and doesn't adversely affect Windows operation in any way.

Good luck sir.

Fodda-thanks for reply but------As I am 68 and not very good with computors, I can't find Windows go to start-All Programs etc. I know it's easy to some people but me it's quite difficult. Sorry about this but would still like to get rid of the introduction. Many thanks for your patience Glenwood

Glen,
The start button/globe is by default in the bottom left hand side of your screen, click that and at the bottom of the window is the box labelled 'All Programs'. If you click that the pop up list changes to one showing all the programs you have installed.

Give me an hour and I'll send you a PM.

Just Press Esc on the computer. Already been said by Dave Dewhurst.

I'll second (or third) this. When the new TS2014 logo intro bit comes up (or at any time during the intro movie), just press Esc. This skips the intro movie. Simples. IMO far easier than messing about with files.
